True...true..I've done the same myself. Haha...this is where we need someone to invent a facetious font. This would be my humour at assuaging my disappointment of a loss in this manner by masking it in cynicism. However, and on a more pertinent note, I think it's a poor example of this reference. I understand and appreciate others might find its condition attractive even desirable, but I do not. Personally, and not to deprecate your view in any way, I don't feel that anyone missed the "deal of the year" here, in fact,far from it. Of course If you like that kind of condition then I think you should duly feel that you have missed a fair price. But, In my opinion, there are better examples for sale. I've a few and all purchased for fair prices. Anyway I am not one to be incited to act quickly for fear of missing out, especially if there are no clear photos of the movement, the inside case back, the case back itself and the movement number. It just doesnt work for me. To be clear, I have no reason to believe it is not what it purports to be. I mean the bezel, the dial and the case looks correct, but other experienced members can set me straight on that. But for me, I defer as always to Spacefruit's number one rule: firstly know what it is you are looking at. i just don't know here other than trusting my inadequate knowledge. I mean, there might be a very sweet cal 861 under the hood or maybe, just maybe a very sweet Seagull movement with a lovely plastic spacer. Again, personally, I wouldn't touch it or even be tempted to act until I know what I am looking at - unless I was a gambler, and I'm far from that. Of course that means all the "deals of the year" go to other guys, but I'm okay with that because I say if it's too good to be true then it probably is.
Cheers
